I think I pretty much turned my back on guitar music for a few years. Oddly enough I've dragged out loads of old dance/rave albums recently and had a re-listen. They're very entertaining.<BR/><BR/>Dear God. How old am I?

And thin. And hence, even more chipper. But I couldn't keep it up. I mean, what's life without chocolate, Ben & Jerry's and pasta? Doesn't bear thinking about.<BR/><BR/>Glad you're back on the music, though, else where would I get my camera-on-turning kicks?ScroobiousScrivenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13296296817546419827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607123.post-1135944028161084452005-12-30T12:00:00.000+00:002005-12-30T12:00:00.000+00:00Well my parents brought me up on a mixed diet of f...Well my parents brought me up on a mixed diet of folk rock, Fairport Convention and buckets of classical music and it doesn't seem to have done my musical ear too much harm, apart from giving me a strange propensity for any crappy dance track which samples a half-decent classical aria. Did you really have to give up bread cheese and chocolate? that sound dreadful. I gave up chocolate for 18 months once just to see if I could but soon realised the error of my ways. Ate half a Terry's chocolate orange last night.
